One could just start slowly with something like learning to make delicious food that's not as calorie dense or going for an activity like rock climbing or basketball with friends once a week instead of going to a restaurant.
Yes, you have to sustain them for long periods of time, but that doesn't mean they can't be fun.
There's so much friction just getting to the point of even trying any one of those things that it just feels unattainable. Because you have to make it your whole life if you want to have any hope.
What's the alternative then? Just succumb to your habits? And maybe life is decent now, but it only goes downhill and gets more difficult physically as we age. Do you really want the you in 10 years to hate the you now?
I like Yvon Chouinard's approach when choosing sports too, he'd chose one that's fun, do it while enjoying it and once it feels like grinding he'd just move on to another sport that's fun again.
I understand that it's difficult, but it's something that affects all other areas of your life, so you shouldn't just give up.
